Chapter 252 Fake Son 7
Wang Zhilan suddenly felt that her family’s food and clothing expenses had become tight, and they didn’t even have new clothes for this season.
"Girl, let's go shopping."
Seeing that her master was unhappy, the maid Luhua offered some advice.
Wang Zhilan nodded. She really wanted to go out and relax. Her father and mother had been in bad tempers recently. She was a little afraid to express her feelings and was almost bored staying in the house.
The two dressed up as men and slipped out the back door.
Wang Zhilan and Luhua shuttled through the crowd, dazzling to see.
The bustling streets, the bustling market, the dazzling array of goods and the constant hawking of goods made Wang Zhilan feel novel and excited, and she forgot the troubles at home for a moment.
Luhua took Wang Zhilan to try various street snacks, such as candied haws, fried cakes, and tofu brain...
These delicacies, which were usually hard to taste in the mansion, satisfied her appetite.
They also watched the juggling performances by street performers. The wonderful acrobatics and funny clowns made Wang Zhilan laugh out loud, and her mood became much more relaxed.
"Hey~ what is this?"
Luhua pointed at a piece of ear of corn and Wang Zhilan looked over.
This appears to be a jade pendant.
Luhua picked it up with the tassel and found that it was indeed a jade pendant hidden in a crack. It might have been torn off by the crack.
Wang Zhilan took it and examined it carefully. The jade felt warm to the touch, delicate and translucent. "This is a piece of mutton-fat white jade."
Such a precious jade pendant is definitely not something that ordinary people can own.
Wang Zhilan looked up and around, but unfortunately no one came to look for her.
She had no choice but to keep it, and she stood there waiting, hoping that the lost person would appear.
Zhao Yu was anxiously searching for the lost jade pendant in the crowd. This was his family heirloom and it would be troublesome if it was lost.
Suddenly, he saw a young man with a bunch of ears of corn in his hand, and he looked very familiar.
Zhao Yu saw him standing there, looking around, probably looking for the owner, and he couldn't help but feel a liking for him.
"Sir, may I ask if you have found a jade pendant?"
Zhao Yu described the characteristics of the jade pendant and then waited for Wang Zhilan to reply.
Wang Zhilan looked at Zhao Yu calmly and saw that the clothes he was wearing were of fine texture and soft luster, and were made of high-quality silk.
The clothing has calm and elegant colors, exquisite patterns, and is embroidered with dragon patterns, which are usually only used by royal family members or high-ranking officials.
The jade belt and badge he wore around his waist, as well as the gems on his hat, were all extremely exquisite, revealing the nobility of their owner.
His manners are calm and composed, and he has a certain grace when he walks. This kind of calmness is a temperament that can only be cultivated by being in a high position for a long time.
Wang Zhilan took out the jade pendant.
"Is it this jade pendant?"
Zhao Yu looked at Wang Zhilan and suddenly smiled. This young man turned out to be a beautiful girl.
"Yes, this one."
"You must keep this precious jade pendant well. If you lose it again next time, you won't be so lucky."
Wang Zhilan smiled and joked, then left with Luhua.
Zhao Yu stopped them and said, "Thank you for keeping the jade pendant for me. How about I treat you to tea?"
Wang Zhilan was a little hesitant. She was not a real young master, and after all, men and women should not touch each other. She did not dare to violate etiquette, but this young master was obviously of extraordinary status, and she did not want to miss it.
"It just so happens that I am a little thirsty, so I will obey your command."
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and found this "young master" really interesting.
The two of them went to a nearby teahouse to sit for a while.
Sitting opposite each other, the aroma of tea wafts in the air.
"The aroma of this tea is refreshing and soothing."
Wang Zhilan also took a sip and said, "This tea has a pure aroma. It should be this year's new tea, picked at the perfect time."
Zhao Yu looked at Wang Zhilan carefully. From a close distance, he discovered that she had fair skin, long eyelashes, and a cute rosy cherry mouth. Her men's clothing did not completely conceal her elegant temperament, but instead added a bit of mysterious charm.
Zhao Yu smiled again, "Young Master, you are quite knowledgeable about the tea ceremony."
Wang Zhilan waved her hand. "I can't say I'm doing research, but I do some research when I have nothing to do."
Wang Zhilan was very proud of herself. She could tell you everything about any tea she had ever drunk.
The two of them chatted happily and before they knew it, they had finished a pot of tea.
Luhua looked at the sky and felt a little anxious. She had been out for too long and her lady would probably blame her if she knew.
Fortunately, Wang Zhilan also noticed this problem and put down the teacup.
"Mr. Zhao, it's getting late today. I should go home now. See you next time if we are lucky enough."
Zhao Yu nodded and personally sent Wang Zhilan downstairs. Looking at Wang Zhilan's back, Zhao Yu showed a meaningful smile.
"Go check on this lady."
"Yes."
The guard at the door took the order and left.
?
Nan Xi prepared to go out with her luggage on her back. As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. Now the Li family has become enemies with Governor Wang. If they don't make some preparations, they may not be able to escape a tragic fate in the future.
"Mom and Dad, I will definitely come back safely, don't worry."
Gu Qiyun wiped her tears, feeling very worried. Although her daughter had fighting skills, she was still a woman after all.
Wang Ruolan supported Gu Qiyun, "Don't worry, my husband. I will take good care of my parents."
Nan Xi nodded, turned and left.
Although Wang Jincheng was only a governor, he was still a branch of the Wang family, the prime minister of the capital.
In order to eliminate the trouble permanently, the Wang family must be wiped out in one fell swoop. This is too troublesome. Nan Xi always likes to cut off the source of the trouble.
Besides, even without Wang Jincheng, there are still Qian Jincheng and Sun Jincheng. Even if the Li family has no power, they will become a fat sheep just by having money.
She is going to the capital, and the Li family must have the power to protect themselves to avoid being plotted against.
After asking around, Nan Xi came to Mingxiang Tower. Feng Anmin, the Minister in charge of the Imperial Household Department, loved to come here to drink tea and listen to opera.
Nan Xi waited for two days and finally someone showed up. Feng Anmin only brought a servant with him and entered the private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
There is a sliding door in the box. When it is opened, you can see the stage in the hall on the first floor. When it is closed, it becomes a very private box.
This kind of box also has maids to serve, help make tea and explain the plays.
Nan Xi sat in the box to the right of Feng Anmin's box.
When the maid came to make tea, Nan Xi refused to use the teahouse's tea leaves, and instead took out a jade box from her pocket, which contained her newly made tea "Ningxiang Yulu".
Nan Xi gently opened the jade box in her hand, and the tea leaves appeared before her eyes. The appearance of the tea leaves was very different from ordinary tea leaves. They had different shapes, and each piece looked full and shiny.
The color of the tea leaves is bright, and the aroma is intoxicating. It is a unique floral scent, like the breath of spring, fresh and pleasant.
The maid looked at the tea leaves in Nan Xi's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never seen such top-quality tea.
She carefully poured hot water into the teacup, and the tea leaves danced in the water like a beautiful painting.
The tea leaves slowly expand in the teacup, and the aroma gradually emanates, filling the entire room.
Nan Xi took a sip of the tea. The fragrant taste made her close her eyes, as if the whole world had quieted down, leaving only her and the cup of tea.
Feng Anmin was sitting in an antique box. A classic opera was being performed on the stage in front of him. He was mesmerized by the actors' graceful singing and superb performances.
A breeze blew gently, bringing with it an unprecedented fragrance.
This fragrance was different from any tea fragrance he had smelled before. It had the sweetness of fruit and the freshness of flowers. It made people feel as if they were in a sea of flowers, relaxing both their body and mind.
It is not a strong, heavy scent, but a fresh one that seems to cleanse the soul.
Feng Anmin's heart moved. He put down the teacup in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath.
The fragrance spread in his nostrils, like the dew in the early morning of spring, with a hint of coolness, or like wild flowers in the valley of the mountains, exuding a natural and pure fragrance.
"Wonderful!"
He opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the fragrance. There was an aisle in front of the sliding door. Feng Anmin walked out. The fragrance was so overbearing that it could only come from the box next door.
In the corner of the right box, a maid was carefully making a pot of tea.
The teapot is made of purple clay, simple and elegant, and the white mist that floats out when the tea boils seems to be telling the extraordinary nature of this tea.
A young man was sitting at the coffee table, watching a play and sipping tea, looking leisurely and comfortable.
